Notes
- People paid the Winter Fuel Payment for the winter, by where they live. DWP names constituencies without codes; each is matched to the ONS's register by its name, with accents and '&' read alike ('Ynys Môn', 'Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr'). Its figures come from Stat-Xplore, which adjusts each count slightly to protect privacy, so constituencies add up to their region within a few dozen, not exactly. People DWP cannot place count only in England and Wales's total.
- Scotland's Winter Heating Payment and Northern Ireland's own payment are not here.
